Tracking Adjustments
Auto tracking
Each time a tape is inserted, auto
tracking starts working and
continuously analyses the signal to
adjust for optimum picture quality
during playback. So, there is no need
for you to minimize noises in moit
tapes during playback.

Manual tracking
• During normal playback:
If auto tracking cannot eliminate
noises well during playback, press
CHANNEL A or T on the front
panel.
• During a slow motion picture:
Press CHANNEL A or T on the
front panel to minimize noises in the
slow motion picture.
• During a still picture:
Press CHANNEL A or T on the
front panel to reduce jitter in the still
picture.
To cancel manual tracking, stop the
tape, eject the tape, then re-insert it.
